I know nobody asked for this but I can't stop myself:
kung fu & gong fu should really be pronounced the same way - both like gong fu'. But most people will pronounce it as they see it so the accepted pronounciatiation of kung fu is now with a hard k, at least among English speakers.
The word 'kung fu' uses the Wade-Giles romanization system, so the k should be pronounced 'softly' like a g. If it was a 'hard' k sound, there would be an apostrophe after the k like k'ung fu
